"This is a great big mess," Charles Krauthammer said on FOX News on Wednesday night. "It's self-inflicted, gratuitous. And I think it could be tragic. Look, I don't want to be lawyerly about this, but let's remember that Cain said on "Happening Now" on FOX on Monday, he said 'if the Restaurant Association did a settlement, I wasn't aware of it.' Well, now he tells us that he is not only aware of it but he told this Curt Anderson in 2003 all about it in a briefing before Cain ran in the Senate campaign. So it raises the question of was he being disingenuous?"
Keep drinking your Kool-aid, Homie.

Re: Herman Cain's Side Of The Story.
I wish he had responded with a simple, "That was however many years ago, mistakes were made and everything is settled. I have no further comment."
I don't think Perry was behind this.
I do think Romney is behind this.
I don't think Perry or Romney will defeat Obama.
I think that a Cain/Gingrich ticket would be AMAZING if Cain can weather this storm.
The woman or women in this fiasco should be ashamed for allowing themselves to be used in this fashion-- but I guess many people have their price.

Re: Herman Cain's Side Of The Story.
It's not like he raped anyone.
Thre aren't any rumors of actual infidelity.
He's a man. He probably made a joke or gesture that may have seemed impolite-- but my gut tells me that whatever the truth is, it's not worth all this drama.
He should have not grandstanded-- a simpler, calm ambiguous but truthful answer can end the charades here.
They need to get off his case, but he really needs to come clean as clean as he can without violating the former agreements and do so quickly.
Maybe even a public apology to the women involved would be a way to help redeem the situation.

He had 10 days to get his act together before Politico rolled out the story.
For him to come out of the gate saying he was "unaware" of any settlement and then later in the day he changes his story confirming a woman was paid? To me, that makes the story suspect, right off the bat.
I'll wait and see what the woman has to say if they lift her gag order.
Don't change your story on me. That's all I'm saying. That is my issue alone.

After the story broke he could have not known the details of the settlement. As more discussion followed and rehearsing the details with his lawyers he found out more info and later has more to talk about. That doesn't mean he lied.

Re: Herman Cain's Side Of The Story.
What's funny is the hypocrisy from the left. They knew about Edwards but suppressed the story. They knew about Clinton and all of his trysts and glossed over it. They crucified Linda Tripp for telling on him. They basically called Paula Jones trailer trash. Ken Starr was evil personified. "Its just sex" they said. They advocate sexual freedom and obliterating traditional morality. Then they get all sanctimonious with this? Laughable.

Okay, perhaps you could explain this to me. Cain says that if the NRA did a settlement, he wasn't aware of it. Then later, he says that he spoke to a Curt Anderson in 2003 about the issue in a briefing before he ran for his Senate campaign.
Now, I'm kinda having a hard time believing that he could forget that incident when it was essential to discuss for his Senate bid. It's, like, on his resume from here to eternity. But, today he is just kinda remembering it. That's not working for me.
